Let's hide some 👾 monsters in our closets! ▶️ Check out my new #leveldesign video on spawn/monster closets! “The player has already seen this room, but how do I add new enemies to the space without them simply appearing?” youtube.com/watch?v=YjZVo8RO…

Not every #leveldesign rule should be followed. But you need to understand why the rule exists before you break it. I just uploaded my Northern Game Summit talk: “Level Design Rules and When to Break Them.” 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/-TrkBdATCcU?si=bwo8… #gamedev

▶️ Level Designers! How do you mitigate players struggling to solve a 🧩 puzzle or other challenge, because they don't remember a specific mechanic or feature of your game? ▶️ In my new #leveldesign video, we have a look at ‘Recall Priming’ #gamedev youtu.be/Y2QBzdaMAAI

Take a look at my new #leveldesign #blockout (gameplay footage) in the style of #control by @remedygames Not wanting to make just a static blockout I may have gone a tad overboard with scripting all the gameplay mechanics 😅 Let me know what you think! ❤️

Fellow level designers. What would you call interactive ingredients within your levels? E.g., openable doors, launch pads, grapplehook attachment spots, buttons, pushable blocks for puzzles etc. At Ubi we call them 'level design ingredients'. Do you have another name for them?
